Tucked away in Downtown Boston's Chinatown and named for a Japanese sea spirit, Shojo focuses their Asian fusion far on small plates of meats and steamed buns alongside savory noodle bowls. Much like its customers who order a slew of plates and share them amongst themselves, this hidden treasure covered with urban takes on famous Japanese art has also got a penchant for sake and inventive house cocktails.

It’s rare to find a bar that offers superbly crafted cocktails, tantalizing cuisine, and a gorgeous interior, but Shōjō manages to check off all the boxes. Equipped with a laundry list of decadent dishes ranging from a smoked barbecue sauce-drenched Shōjō Pig Bao to the massive Shojonator burger, the bar has perfected the delicate balance of hearty American fare mingled with East Asian culinary flair. While the venue boasts an impressive collection of whiskey sourced from Japan, Taiwan, and the U.S., Shōjō’s cocktail game is just as impressive, offering Vietnamese coffee martinis and boozy baijiu mules.
